The pre-seed round was led by Jenson Funding Partners to support team expansion and product growth.
SafeAP operates a digital marketplace for non-surgical cosmetic treatments, connecting patients with vetted medical practitioners. The platform helps users find qualified professionals and provides practice management software for clinicians.
SafeAP has secured £250k in a pre-seed funding round led by Jenson Funding Partners. The capital will be deployed to expand the company team, increase the selection of products and treatments available, and solidify its market position across the UK. Founded by NHS doctors, the marketplace addresses regulatory gaps and safety concerns within the aesthetic treatments sector by vetting medical practitioners and offering clinic software tools.
The injectable skincare industry has experienced significant growth, prompting increased scrutiny over quality control and patient safety. SafeAP provides a verified directory for consumers while supplying clinicians with tools for e-consultations and documentation. The latest investment will support the platform as it scales its operations to meet rising demand.
From the founder
"As someone who’s had to deal with acne and scarring throughout my life, I have a deep understanding of the skin issues so many people go through. It can be intimidating to find the right treatment, as well as being slightly embarrassing to ask others for advice on where to go. One of the major reasons Sieuming and I started the business was to challenge the stigma surrounding aesthetics and show that it’s really an amalgamation of both beauty and healthcare. SafeAP provides access to qualified practitioners and gives patients the tools and a safe place to find treatments, empowering them to get the skin care they need."

Investor perspective
"With so many people out there dealing with acne and other skin issues, it was surprising to hear that the industry remains something of a ‘Wild West’ given the prevalence of aesthetics procedures. SafeAP is changing the game for non-surgical aesthetics procedures by providing a platform that enables patients to find qualified and vetted practitioners at an affordable price, while giving practitioners the support they need and a place to offer their services. We’re excited to be investing in a company that’s at the forefront of driving innovation in this space."
